The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.

There was a time when Germany was considered a cool climate.
The 50th-degree latitude was the northernmost barrier for viticulture, and it runs through the Rheingau region in the southern half of Germany.
As temperatures increased official wine-growing regions were developed north of the Rheingau in Germany – namely for example Saale Unstrut and Sachsen – but even those vineyards do not represent the northernmost frontiers of the wine world.

Northern Europe might be the next big thing as sparkling wine from the UK has performed well on this channel for instance. There are winemakers in Nordic countries making wines looking at how far they can push the traditional boundaries of viticulture. So let’s find out whether the North of Europe has more to offer than Akvavit, mead, and beer.

The Netherlands or Holland, is a trading nation and was a major player in the wine and spirit trade. They were also tasked with draining the swampy Médoc, creating space to grow grapes. As they were importing and exporting wine they also tried their hand in winemaking to less success.

According to the Oxford Companion, the new wave of Dutch producers started in 1967 when Frits Bosch created his Slavante vineyard of just 800 sq m. There are more than a hundred producers in the Netherlands today working with grape varieties like Riesling and Müller-Thurgau, Auxerrois.
